Oliveri Fungi Secchi Porcini (Dried Porcini Mushrooms)
The flavor and appearance of many supermarket brands of dried porcinis can be dirty, muddy, or overpowering, but these high-quality mushrooms from Piedmont, Italy, are anything but. Cleaner, richer and more savory, with a distinct buttery, earthy essence, these dried porcini from Oliveri look more like slices of actual mushrooms rather than typical shriveled, twisted pieces. And we found the clean, woodsy taste was everything a mushroom should be. Once hydrated, they become meaty and tender and can be used in recipes in place of fresh mushrooms, for soups, sauces, risottos and more. Their soaking liquid can also be strained and added to a dish for a more intense mushroom flavor.
​Oliveri Funghi Porcini Powder
We already love Oliveri’s high-quality dried mushrooms from Piedmont, Italy—now they come in a potent, savory powder. Clean, rich and funky, with a distinct buttery, earthy essence, these porcini from Oliveri are hand-foraged before being dried and pulverized. The powder tastes nutty and meaty, bringing incredible, concentrated umami to anything it’s added to—we love skipping the step of having to hydrate whole mushrooms. Use as a seasoning, add to a spice mix for meat and vegetables or sprinkle into soups, pastas, sauces or risottos.
